Adam Lambert fans may have mixed feelings over the appearance of their “Idol” on the new cover of Entertainment Weekly. On one hand, their guy gets plenty of fresh ink. On the other, you’ve got the concern of a possible magazine-cover jinx. Now, if he doesn’t win, you can blame EW.

They may also have mixed feelings over the accompanying story, which spends some time dwelling on Adam’s sexual orientation and wondering whether an “openly gay” contestant can win “American Idol” (This, despite the fact that Adam has never come out on the show).

Anyway, EW proclaims Adam to be the most exciting contestant on “Idol” in years (no argument there) and talks about how he has not only dominated the show, but has challenged it and even changed it.

I am sick and tired of people bringing up the gay issue. Gay-schmay. Who cares about this? It is 2009 for goodness sake!!! Get over it. Find some other non-issue to spin.

AI is a singing competition. Who is the best singer? Adam Lambert.

I haven’t been this excited about a performer in decades. He is magical! I will be thrilled to see him in concert some day. My friends, family and I wish him tremendous success.

Michael

Watch all of his performances in sequence on americanidol.com. Only then will you understand his talent. He isn’t just a great singer, he is a great entertainer.

The picture is good, but did they have to use pink to highlight it?

Bill Mitchell

The ONLY reason anyone is still discussing Adam’s sexuality is that the press keeps begging us to talk about it. 98% of people don’t care. It’s sort of like the press constantly trying to convince us we are all racists.

Linda

If I believed in reincarnation, I would say he is Elvis Presley and Freddy Mecury combined. I LOVE his voice and charisma…..The gay issue is totally a non issue…..The press is trying to make it an issue, but we, the fans will have NONE of it!

Kim

i agree with all of you
adam is amazing
and who freaken gives a crap if he is gay or not,
it obviously doesn’t affect his talent
and it most certainly does not affect my vote.

I am a 51 year old mom and have not been this excited about a new star in years. I’m not a huge AI fan, but I count the minutes until I can get my Adam fix each Tuesday, and I watch my DVRs of all his performances over and over like a star struck teenager. Adam can sing anything – what a powerful voice, and his range is like nothing I’ve heard before. Add to that his great looks, stage presence and acting and dancing abilities, and he is the whole package and the real deal. In my opinion, he would be a great actor in non-musicals as well! I cannot wait to buy his albums and go to his concerts. His parents did a great job raising him and encouraging and supporting his immense talent.

Michele

Adam is phenomenal and so deserves to win this. I agree the media are the ones harping on this. Why don’t they talk about his amazing talent, his wonderful performing skills, his incredible modesty and genuine respect and friendship for and with his fellow competitors. He and Allison were so wonderful together-you can tell she adores him.

Who cares what his sexual orientation is! He is the best thing to happen to Idol in a long time and I will vote with all my power as will my friends to see him win this.

CW

I think these comments are justified. The magazine/ newspaper industry is fuelled by ‘finding a story.’ For me the fact that such a great and original singer emerged within the competition is enough – sad that it isn’t enough of a narrative for the papers. I think the ‘gay’ debate, as well as being rather boring and, as people say above, patronising, actually obscures the real drama of American Idol this year. Which is that Adam is an unusual and exciting find. And, nota bene, the best singer in the competition, this year and possibly for many years. I hope AI is patting themselves on the backs right now.

elisabth

I just wanna say MC pride! He went to my highschool!

Clare

I think it’s a tacky promotion of one contestant over the others.

Michelle

Adam is AMAZING! I look forward to his performance each week, and am always impressed by what he does on stage.

As for his sexuality, who cares? The man can sing and that’s all that matters. Does anyone care that Elton John is gay? No. He’s an amazing performer as well and people like him for his talent.

harry

Well the got it very wrong last night . I hope the jinks of the magazine cover holds true

Ariel

Ya I think that the press is just using the gay issue as an excuse to talk
about Adam Lambert because if it was just for his voice then it wouldnt seem
‘fair’ to the other contestants. I think that its stupid that the press keeps
bringing it up though e.e. I am glad that people are talking about him it
might encourage more people to vote, which cant be a bad thing.
Wow elisabth TOTALLY jealous of you right now!!

Julie B

I agree with all of you. Adam is the most amazing singer I have ever seen. Me and my best friend are in our middle 30s and we both freak out like teenagers when he performs. Who the heck cares if the dude is gay. I look forward to seeing what he is going to do every week and I am never disappointed. The guy is the real deal and I will support him and see him in concert and buy tons of his albums to pass out to friends(like I did with Daughtry) and I dont care if he comes out on stage in drag. If you can listen to someone, like Adam, with your eyes closed and they still blow your mind, they are pure talent. But who would want to close their eyes? He is a gorgeous man that looks to me like a mix between Elvis and Kurt Russell. I do think that Amer Idol will be boring in the years to come now that we’ve seen and heard Adam. None of the contestants this year could top him. I’m sad to think that Idol is almost over and we will have to wait for what will seem like forever for an album. I WILL be at the A.I. concert in my city on July 29th. I can’t wait. I’m only going to see Adam and I do hope they have him performing throughout the whole concert. If I have to wait until the second half of the concert to see him, I’m gonna be pissed! Go Adam! You rock!

strider643

I too love Adam Lambert.

Seems like America is obsessed about sex whatever the fixation and there are many.

Being a longtime Led Zepplin fan I was truly won over his rendition. My only disappointment is Lambert’s song ends too soon. I want more! That’s rare feeling regarding AI. Strange too how he’s really a sweet guy too. I wish i could see him sing The Rain Song live. That’d be so cool.

Anyhow, I’d rather be gay than an evangelical christian.

me

I have subscribed to EW for years and enjoy the magazine, but this is just a blatant attempt to use him to sell mags. I agree with the poster about having just one idol on the cover. Every past issue that has had a cover story on AI has put all the idols together. Magazine business must be pretty bad for them to stoop so low as to lead with his sexuality!!!
I really want Adam to win, but win EW makes an issue about him being gay before the competition is over, may bring out all the crazy gay-haters. It’s a new low for EW

He’s absolutely perfect. I’m a 54 year old grandmother and am crazy about Adam. When questioned by a nosy, insensitive and unenlightened reporter if he was gay, he graciously responded softly, “I’m an entertainer- this a singing competion-isnt that why we are all here?”
Yes Adam, you ARE a world class entertainer-. Both America and the world loves you just the way you are! Can’t wait to hear and see more of you!

Tom

Adam is incredible. My 80 year old mother loves him too. The guy is a total rock star. No one else could have done that Zeppelin song justice and he did it. And if there were any place where being gay has not mattered for a long time it would be in the arts. Sir Elton John, Freddie Mercury etc. So I think and hope it is a non-issue. I loved the duet too that he did with Allison. That was one of the best things I have seen on Idol and I hope that they do a duet on a future album. Good luck Adam.

ashleyyyyy

i love adam. i have pictures of him all over my locker and have recorded
every one of his performances. lol it’s crazy! im normally not obsessed over
celebrities cuz i think it’s stupid, but i LOVE him!! his voice is good, his range
is awesome, and his stage-presence is GREAT! Simon’s always saying that
he needs to try and make it non-theatrical….but honestly, theater’s what
has gotten him this far! he’s amazing at everything he does and i love him!
he’s been my favorite ever since his first audition. no kidding. haha

and as for the whole gay thing, whatever.. i,personally, am a christian and
dont exactly believe in gay, but hey tht doesn’t mean i go and make a big
deal out of it! i mean, seriously! i love adam no matter what! and i think he’s
a GREAT singer and BETTER WIN!!!!! lol 😉 like i said, i LOVE him! Rock on,
Adam 😀

Deb

I am a 59 year old with 3 grandchildren, I think Adam is beyond amazing. I listen to him sing on You Tube, and I hear his voice in my head for hours after I have shut my computer down. Simon is always talking about being memorable, Adam is memorable in the extreme sense. His incredible talent, his charisma, his stage presense, his obvious concern for others, those qualities are what is drawing people to him, not his PERSONAL preferences. I wish and hope the very best for him.

Justin

I will buy this issue of EW, simply for the fact that my Idol is on the cover. As for EW’s motives in writing this article…I find it tacky. They should have left the gay angle out of the story. Him being gay has nothing to do with anything. America has enough problems, don’t add more by assuming that we as a general populous won’t vote for Talent, just because of sexual orientation. He is charismatic, hella talented, gorgeous, and has appeal to both men and women, gay and straight. I have never gotten into Idol until this year, and I only watch this year to see Glambert! I have been rooting for him since Day 1. And honestly, besides Allison, he is the only contestant that I care about. I will buy every one of his albums and see him in concert whenever I possibly can. We are witnessing the birth of an international superstar right now. This guy will be around for a long long long time…it’s cliched I know, but I truly believe he will be as big as Elvis down the road (fame wise not weight, lol) GO ADAM!! Gay/straight/bi we don’t care, we love you no matter what!! (And for the record I’m a bi guy who leans more to towards the straight side, but I’d be gay for him in a second)

Lemonade

I am also a grandmother, and I really look foward to hearing Adam sing, What a voice, he has a face of an angel, Best of luck Adam, I hope all your dreams come true!

Lucy

Adam is the best thing to happen to AI in 8 years. Adam’s voice is phenomenal, his stage presence is the stuff that the biggest rock stars are made of, his looks are GQ fab and his body would do Armani proud. His teeth are a toothpaste commercial in the making. His eyes draw you in and possess you. Adam has the total package. I root and vote for Adam every Tuesday. America, you are looking at the NEXT KING OF MUSIC!!!! ADAM LAMBERT!!!!!! Glambert1475 present and accounted for.

Roxanne

DEB: I am a 51 year old with 3 grandsons and I concur, Adam IS beyond amazing. Ditto on everything you said.

The final four are incredible WHAT A SEASON. These three amaze me. I would love to see ADAM win but either of these three would suit me just fine. As for his personal preferences….. WHO CARES!!! Everything about him draws the viewer/listener in so straight or gay everyone is entertained. That is a true entertainer a true artist.

There are those who would love to improve or ruin his chances by bringing his personal life into it. Let’s not let them do that. Let’s vote on the talent that is on the stage.

iana l.

EW using Adam’s image to sell their magazine! Too bad that instead of discussing all his great creative performances and his vocals in the various genres, they are obsessed with his sexuality. Poor reporter is working for the wrong magazine. All of our own sexuality is our own and no one else’s business.Adam is the only outstanding singer on AI, the others are average to above avarage. One would think that an entertainment magazine would focus on Adam as an entertainer. Not EW-though-what a pathetic joke.

Adamsluvjnes

I do not care whether Adam is gay or straight. All I know is that he is smoking hot and I will do anthing to watch him. I will buy all his albums, go to see him in concerts, because I love Adam Lambert. Every performance of Adam’s is like a concert. And this is on TV?!!! He will be phenomenal live. WOW!!! I cannot wait to see Adam live on the AI tour on August 29 in St. Louis. And I really cannot wait to see Adam on his own tour. He will be out of this world. GO ADAM GO!!!!

Lynne

I am a 63 year old grandmother and am loving this guy! He is gorgeous, over-the-top talented and seems to be thoughtful of others. His parents have done a good job. I watch AI just to see him perform. I love his smile. If you haven’t listened to him in Brigadoon on YouTube you’re missing something amazing. Allison has an incredible voice and has a great future ahead of her also.

susan edmunds

Why is it unfair that Entertainment Weekly does a cover of Adam and not the others? They want to sell Magazines don’t they? Who would buy a cover with Gokey? Adam is hot whether he wins or not. My Grandmother was an operatic soprano, I think she would have loved Adam Lambert. Each note is clear, every syllable enunciated, his pitch is perfect, his rhythm is impeccable and what a show! She sang with Liberace and thought he was the sweetest gentleman. If she were alive she would be 120 years old and all of her years she was a devout Christian. She believed that the blessing of the lord was love and hate was the work of the devil.

Me, myself and I

How about putting headliners on magazines……”will straight Danny win?”. Sounds stupid huh?! The gay is ridiculous. Adam, you are not the American Idol, you are the World Idol!!!

Laura

Adam is dripping with sexuality for men and women…..you are the complete package! You are a star!

Jello

I love reading everyone’s comments about Adam Lambert–I fell in love with him after his audition when he kissed Paula’s hand and wanted to take Kara’s ring home with him in his teeth! EVERYTHING about this man is not only sexy, but real, kind, sensitive, introspective, intriguing….I, too, am way beyond teenage crushes but like Deb, above, I find myself hearing his music in my head long after my computer is turned off. I think whatever his sexuality, it IS important because it is who he is–it’s just not really anyone else’s business! I agree that he will be a mega-star and will probably be a movie star as well!!

Jen

For the commentor that said he would rather be gay then an evangelical christian. You have it wrong. I am an evangelical chrisitan and I LOVE Adam. I am 47 years old. I don’t care whether he is gay or not. … I do not care if he is a republican or a democrat….. I don’t care if he eats pancakes instead of waffles….. I just want to be entertained and you get exactly that and more with Adam. You guys mix up the gay marriage issue with tolerance. Wrong wrong! I do not know one person who does not like Adam BECAUSE they think he is gay, as a matter of fact everyone loves him because he is the ultimate entertainer….not just a singer. I bet you will get what you pay for a more when you go see him in concert. Maybe the rest of Hollywood could learn something here and keep their personal opinions to themselves so we can just be…entertained! I LOVE LOVE LOVE ADAM! BEST THING TO HAPPEN IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IN almost 20 years!

Nova Pearl

God made sure he gave Adam a gift robust enough to be a match for all the prejudice and the undeserved bigotry He knew Adam would have to endure. The reason is simple: God loves all his children, especially the “meek” and the downtrodden. I believe Adam has always been aware that his road would be more difficult than that for others, so he worked doubly hard to accomplish what he has. I give him credit. His results are glorious. As a grandmother, I am so proud of him. He was never able to take for granted that if he were a worship leader, he would have it made.

Olivia

I think that he is a really good singer and performer…and I SO wish that he weren’t gay, but it is pretty open to me, even if he hasn’t said he is. There are so many hints…see how he changed the lyrics in the studio version of “Tracks of My Tears” from the original lyrics. I do care if he is gay, but I still listen to him, even if he is…
But all of this info about him BEFORE the finale…it’s unfair to the other contestants. It’s a pretty etched-in-stone thing that he is going to win, but already treating like the Idol?? Come on.

adamfan

if you love him, please vote for him or he’s going to end up losing 😀 don’t get complacent and assume that his die hard fans are enough. he needs all the votes he can get so please vote! <3

WHO CARES WHO HE ‘SLEEPS’ WITH…IT IS INSIGNIFICANT….GET A FREAKIN’ LIFE!!! HE IS AN EXCITING PERFORMER WITH AN AMAZING GIFT AND WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TO WITNESS THE BEGINNING OF AN EXCITING CAREER! I CAN’T WAIT ‘TIL HE GETS HIS OWN GIG AND COMES TO SAN FRANCISCO! I’M BUYING TICKETS!

Jory

guyyyyyyys vote 4 adam all the way and i will do tell he get the idol … plllz do so .. recruit 4 major voting it’s very important two weeks coming and alot of ppl just want adam 2 lose i don’t know why all this hate he don’t deserve that and never hurt anyone he is the sweetest person ever …

Stell

Gay, straight, bisexual – whatever he is, he has turned me into a teenage girl all over again. Just keep doing your thing, Adam, I LOVE you! I am a young 36 and think you are as sexy as Mick Jagger, Elvis, & a young Nick Cave rolled into one! Good luck!

LEE JONES

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! WHY CAN’T WE ENJOY ONE DAM CELEBRITY WITH OUT SNOOPY,JEALOUS, WANTABES CRUSHING EVERYBODYS DREAM. ADAM IS STRONG & SOOOOOOO TALENTED… HE WILL BE HERE WHEN THEY ARE LONG GONE.

Sylvia

Excuse me, I thought this was the 21st century? Who cares what Adam does in his private life. He’s the best thing that could have happend to AI and they, and EW know it. He will sell albums, concert tickets, t-shirts,coffee mugs, jewelry – has anyone looked on ebay and taken a look at how many people are already making serious money off his likeness?

I think Adam is fabulous. I am concerned that from the beginning there has been lots of talk about rounding up the Christian vote for Kris or Danny because they have both made it clear they are practicing Christians. And unfortunately, many Christians will vote against Adam due to his sexuality. I hope I am wrong – because he definitely deserves to win. Kris and Danny are very, very good. Adam is just over the top. P.S. I am Christian too – and the Christian thing to do would be to vote for the best person.

peg

I cancelled my subscription to EW last month because I found the magazine to be a “People” wannabe, lacking in class and substance. This reinforces my decision. For some reason the press has decided to bring the “gay” issue to the forefront in order to sabotage Adam’s chances of winning. Why? All this does is bring it to the attention of all the finatics who spend their self righteous lives pointing fingers away from themselves. Both Danny & Kris have the backing of the religious community. One of them will no doubt go next and throw their votes to the remaining one. Even considering Adam’s substantial lead, this will hurt his chances of winning – even though his talent is so far off the charts (this is a talent show isn’t it) that Danny & Kris, though talented, don’t even come close. The only good thing about Adam potentially losing would be that the world will get to enjoy this amazingly talented man much sooner and, he won’t be bound to record the usual, hokey “American Idol” written & produced song.

One Proud Mom

The media can not find any fault with his performances so they are resorting to the ultimate low blows. Adam is very talented and one of a kind artist. His vocals are completely outrageous. His passion and artistry that he puts into each and every performance is totally off the wall. His genuine respect and friendship with his fellow contestants, and his incredible modesty shows that this is THE American Idol. After all, isn’t this what this show is all about? Adam is way ahead of his time and just has exploded into our hearts and lives. He is fresh, young, unique, and we just can’t seem to get enough. I would be proud to have him represent us as our American Idol. And yes, I do love the look with the nail polish, the hair and the eyeliner!!! I also love how grounded he is and how he is staying true to himself as a person and as an artist. By the way, I am a 45 year old mom of 2 young adults in their early 20’s. Oh, my favorite performance was Ring of Fire!!! And I don’t like country music!!!!!

peg

I forgot to add……..For all we know, Adam may not want to win. He may have used the show to get the exposure he needed to get his career launched in a worldwide arena. If so, go Adam!!!!

AppleDancer

I LOVE Adam and I DO care that he is GAY.

I think you can only love someone if you love them completely, not just
because of their talent or because they’re good looking. If you love them
only for their talent or looks, that’s not really love.

I do care that he’s gay because I care about him as a person, completely.
He is who he is because of his sexual orientation. It’s part of him. If you
disregard that, than you disregard him.

I am NOT sick and tired of hearing about Adam being gay. What I am tired
of is people saying that they “don’t care” whether he is gay or not.
I think these people have issues of gay people that they haven’t overcome.
These people are the one’s who I am tired of, not the media.

Teresa

Adam is a gifted artist I love him for sharing his gift with us. He should be recognized for his unbelievable vocals, stage presence, stunning good looks and classy personality. He has worked hard to get where he is and is still very humble. He is unlike any AI we have ever seen AI is lucky to have found him.

Justin

AppleDancer…I kind of understand what you’re saying, but kind of not at all. Yes being gay is part of who he is, but since 99.9% of the population will never actually have a close personal relationship with him, sexuality is a moot point. Loving someone should have nothing to do with sexual orientation, unless you in fact are planning to have a sexual relationship with them, then it’s kind of important, lol. I love many many people, but do I care if they are gay or straight…absolutely not. Being homosexual is something that shapes who a person is to a degree, but I think it’s unfair to tell people if you don’t love that he’s gay you are just “disregarding” him as a person. Honestly, to me it sounds a little bit like you are a bit of an obsessed fan. I mean no disrespect at all, but don’t say that because people don’t have a problem either way with the whole gay/straight issue, that they themselves have issues with homosexuality. It would seem that you are not tolerating tolerance, which is a step in the wrong direction for the homosexual community. And don’t bite into me that i must be straight, that’s why I’m saying this. Because I will freely admit that I have played on both teams in my life, and been active in LGBS groups.

Avonquil

With the current avalanche of troublesome news and a deepening sense of crisis in the United States and by extension in Canada too, and the innumerable heartbreaking stories of personal loss and suffering and of individual tragedies woven into forming the clouds, Adam Lambert’s honesty and integrity in portraying his raw emotions through his singing connects with both the broken hearted and those who are afraid and often desperate.
He cannot emote such emotions without having experienced the pain of them himself. I believe our hopes for him to achieve well deserved universal success and recognition are borne out of our need to believe that things can and will get better.
Adam is not a saviour. He is a shining symbol of what needs to be rekindled in the hearts of America, of North America.
Adam is hope wrapped in brilliance crowned with humility.

Missy

I think EW should not have published this until after the competition is over. I do believe it will have a negative impact on his votes. I am a Christian mom of 3 who absolutely loves Adam Lambert. I vote for him every week because his music excites me and energizes me! I have bought all his songs and music on Itunes and listen to them often. I want him to win the competition because he is the best! The fact that EW will be publishing this really makes me mad because they are taking the focus off his GREAT singing and on the gay issue.

Peggy age 74

I am not caring what the EW magazine has to say….I think this is a
raw deal right before the finals so that Gokey can win…You don’t see any of the other contestants on the front of any magazines cause this guy Adam will sell anything because he is so handsome, and talented…None like him since Elvis and love his rock style…Don’t listen to these reporters cause all we have to think about is his talent…Maybe they think it will go against him….in the contest but God gave him this talent and he has worked hard to get it to its maturity…I love his music and when he sings my eyes don’t leave his face….they didn’t on Elvis either causse they are talented…Vote Adam…….vote

voice coach

to all adam haters, Please listen to adam sing come to me, bend to me from brigadoon (youtube)
He is the best! love you adam.

lucy

It’s high time they put Adam on the cover, every magazine should. The guy is phenomenal! What a talent!! And he is hot, hot, HOTTT!!!! His passion for music shows in each of his performances and only makes him hotter, if that’s at all possible.

EPJ

ADAM is no doubt the BEST CONTESTANT EVER in the ENTIRE HISTORYof this show! You cannot compare him to anyone – he is IT – NEW MUSIC LEGEND OF THIS CENTURY!!

Patti

DRATS! I heard he was on the cover and came here thinking we were going to finally get to read something worthwhile. Same dribble.

It would be more interesting to know what he likes on his pizza. I would love to have dinner with him and ask him the real things we all want to know about him like: How was he raised that makes him so humble and compassionate for others? Does he know how good he is? If so, why does he always cross his fingers?

I am 42 married and have never followed any celebrity news before. I have become a teenager again. I can’t sleep because his songs run through my head all night long. I find myself daydreaming of him coming down those stairs. When Adam is on TV it is only him and I in the room. The house could be burning down and I wouldn’t notice it. I imagine this was like when Elvis first appeared.

Quick trying to get the scoop on this. It is only a scoop if anyone actually cares.

Vote your fingers off again! Even though he will have an amazing career either way, Adam wants to win so let’s give it to him!

Alice

EW just made my week! Can’t wait for that issue. Love Adam!! I admit, I am obsessed and smitten and addicted to him! Have not felt like that about an artist in at least a decade. His voice is out of this world! And those killer eyes. And the hair! Thank you Idol for discovering this incredible guy, he’ll make you millions and I am more than happy to do my part – buying his music, voting for him etc.

Steve

Unfortunately when you’re as good as Adam and as popular with much more to come, the media will work every possible angle. If no one bought the silly magazines then they wouldn’t be doing it. So the public has no one to blame but itself for the exploitation.

karen

I look forward every week to see what Adam is going to sing. There has never been
so much talent during American Idol until this year with Adam. Love him or hate him,
Adam’s is an incredible singer and a amazing entertainer. I’m sure we will be
seeing Adam on many more covers!

er

We really cannot blame the press — Adam Lambert is a gift of God. He is THE TRUEST EXAMPLE OF PERFECTION that those who do not believe in Him are digging hard for imperfection. His presence in American Idol makes all previous winners and successful finalists look second-rate yet his magnificence never affected his ego — a Christian in the real sense of the word. Lucky those who have the chance of meeting him in person and I am sure the whole world would welcome him with open arms!

Adam Lamert is the best thing to happen to AI since it started!!!!! This guy is PHENOMINAL, AWESOME, & MEZMERIZING!!!! Like Paula said Tuesday night, and I quote “A WHOLE LOTTA PERFECT !” I too am a 55 year-old grandma and I LOVE to hear Adam sing. I listen to him on my computer and on Tuesday night all that know me have also come to know not to call me or bother me during the hour Idol is on unless it is a life or death situation. I have to get my “Adam Fix” ! If Adam doesn’t win Idol it will be a big loss for the show. He stands to make them them millions. I vote for him at least 10 times before I stop dialing the phone. I will also be buying his music. Who gives a rogue rat’s behind what his sexual oreintation is ??? It has been many moons since an artist like Adam has come along .

Who cares if Adam might be gay? That story is months old and no one cares! Adam is a great singer and an incredible entertainer. I only tune into AI to see Adam, and haven’t been this excited about a performer for over 20 years. Adam FTW.

jowilliams

Again…and again…and again…This is the 21st century. If there is anyone on the planet who doesn’t get what Adam Lambert is about, they must be living in a cave. The millions of fans around the world love Adam because he’s the way he is, not in spite of it!! Adorable? Yes. Gorgeous? Yes. Kind? Yes. Talented? Oh, Yeah!!! I’ve seen “evil eyes” a few times….Oh, definitely!! Those evil eyes. Oooooh, baby! Love those evil eyes….!! The fact is, the world is in love with Adam Lambert and can’t get enough of him and that is why EW has him on the cover! Because he’s the bomb, dawg!!! Whole Lotta Perfect! Rock God! And so on…

angie

It is an understatement that Adam Lambert is a brilliant and talented performer, and using all the adjectives in Webster’s one can find to describe this man, of course he will win. The fact that he is gay has nothing with what I have to say here. Adam far exceeds all of the contestants with his stage performance experience. Check it out, he has worked with top stars on stage, thus his experience makes it an UNFAIR contest. Allison Ireheta was amazing throughout, but even on her last night, looking absolutely gorgeous with her beautiful hair and makeup, and awesome performance, the judges completely disregarded her. The women judges didn’t even say a word about how great she looked and they acted like she was invisible throughout. So here we have it–a seasoned, experienced star competing with a 17-year-old from East L.A. Of course he will win, but I don’t think he should have been an American Idol contestant. It’s like a wrestling match with The Rock and Pee Wee Herman. It is unfair. Adam would have made it big withut Idol.

Cate

I love that Adam made the cover of EW. He truly is an amazing talent. I’m a little disappointed that the magazine felt it necessary to discuss his sexual orientation. What’s the point of that?

I would question the magazine’s decision to discuss his religious, political or hair care preference. What is news and interesting is this guy’s crazy good singing ability, his performances on and off idol and his future in the music industry.

Yolis

It was a very good decision to have Adam in the cover of the magazine… I just don’t like the way they made it… There is not creativity… It seems made by a teenager… actualy, I think a teenager could make it better… more fun and crazy… the color of the writting and the stars make it look kind of lame… =( I love Adam, he is AWESOME!!! but I don’t like the job the people of the magazine made.

Patti

ADAM IS THE MOST EXCITING CONTESTANT ON AMERICAN IDOL EVER!!! HE IS AN INTERNATIONAL SUPER STAR ALREADY!! He only needed American Idol to get noticed. In my opinion Adam has just eaten a bunch of humble pie. It is almost demeaning for him to be on the show. The show will never be the same because a talent like Adam is rare. Just like Sam Harris was rare. Adam should win because he is the most deserving. But, it really doen’t matter if he wins or not. So, the hypocrits and the haters just have to accept the face that Adam has arrived. I think people are afraid of him because he is so powerful. People want to identify with their heros. ADAM IS MY HERO!!! But, in reality he has a personal life that is his and people need to look past that and jsut enjoy his God given talent.

For The Love Of ADAM

Please pass around.
ATTENTION: To All WORLD WIDE FANS Of ADAM!!! . . .We can VOTE!!!
A post from Time: “I live in Peru and I figured out how to vote with an international foncard. I’m technically not that talented, but I voted full 2 hours last week. My friend in USA just texted me time I could vote and Adam’s number and it worked out great! I placed like 150 votes for Adam on 2 fonlines! THAT it may never ever happen again that an exceptional singer like ADAM finishes in the bottom 2. greetings from Lima. . .

Please buy those phone cards and tell your friends. But you need someone from US to text you when voting starts and the number of Adam. I’m relieved that as a fan from Hong Kong, I will be able to do something for the LOVE of ADAM!!!

SIMON COWELL said that he did not expect the fact that rumors about ADAM’s sexuality (that have circulated for months) to impact his ongoing front-runner status.
SIMON: “I think people only get bothered really when they know somebody’s hiding something. We’ve had that in the past!”
SIMON told TV Guide with a laugh after his not-so-subtle jab at Clay Aiken, who announced he was gay more than five years after he finished second during Idol’s second season. “We’ve obviously never had an issue with it, and nor should anybody else. It’s a huge step forward for the show. It’s just, do you like him as a person, as a singer, full stop.”
That says it all. PERIOD!!!

Sibylla

Well, I’m nearly 50 (so old enough to be his mother), in Australia, and have 4 kids aged between 7-18 and I think Adam is amazing. My 10 year old teases me about it, he loves Danny. I would be proud to have him as a son, his parents must be too. Although I would love to see him win, in reality it will make absolutely no difference to him, he will be a star regardless. What idol has done for him is bring him to the attention of the world, and there he will stay win or loose. As to his sexual orientation, who gives a flying fig!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m listening to his music while writing this, I just said to hubby I’m like a love sick teenager. I used to think that Elvis fans had a screw loose, well maybe now I know what they were all about!!!
GO ADAM GO.

Daisy Anne

From the Ascerbic Judge himself:
Here is what SIMON said about ADAM in the TV guide interview; ” when you do a show like this, you hope you’re going to find somebody so unique, so different, who can represent the show all over the world. And that’s more Adam than Danny. Adam’s in control of what he does, down to the nail polish. Imagine what the competition would look like without him. He’s shaken everything up, this boy.”

Blondie

Hey, my name is……and I am a 50 year-old Adam fan. Ha. Ha. I think we need to form AA – adam anonymous – we are kind of pathetic aren’t we?

It is 3 a.m. and I just went back and watched his Mad World and Rock night performances. He is spellbinding but I think he brings back the kind of style we grew up with. We grew up with raunchy rock and roll and Adam is the only one who has the more mature edge. He reminds me of all the rock gods we all swooned over as teens, so I think that may be part of the reason we really love him. He does not appear to be as youthful as the rest, even though he dresses more currently. It is an odd thing – but it is old foggies for Adam all the way. I actually went back to watch Slow Ride again, mainly to see what lyrics he and Allison actually sang. i don’t know about the rest of you, but I listened to Foghat in the privacy of my blacklight laden bedroom, with the incense going strong and smoking tea. Ha. I cannot believe AI allowed him to first talk about pleasing in Whole Lotta Love and then going down in Slow Ride. Yes, Entertainment Weekly, Adam Lambert has definitely changed the face of American Idol. Daughtry first made the attempt, but this is in a whole nother ballpark. He has an old soul, that is all.

I think this cover reminds me too much of one of those teen pop star magazines, with all of the pink stars,etc. They seem to be promoting him as a teen idol more than anything with choice of graphics.

Blondie

This whole voting system has got to change next year. It is ridiculous that people can vote like this. I think everyone should get the number of votes according to the number of contestants there are. Period. AI does not make money on it anymore like they used to in the past. It is free, so it is not a business venture and nobody cares how many votes Ryan speals out each week because we are all waiting for Adam. Us senior citizens will get arthritis trying to speed vote each week.

Peggy

Yeah! finally got something right…Adam on the front of Entertainment
Weekly….I don’t care to read the story inside I am going to buy the magazine for the picture to frame for my 12 year old granddaughter and get one for my 8 year old great grandson. They think Adam is awesome andhave his music on their ipods…Greatgrand mother agrees with them, he is the most fantastic entertainer idol has ever had…never enjoyed an Idol season as I have this one and never taped every episode….I do take one out, but the rest are on it….Initials are D.G…Ugh…….
Allison was adorable and I loved her rock song of Janis Joplin..she really got robbed when Gokey was in the bottom 2, which we don’t hear about….and her duet with Adam was awesome, loved it….
Am looking foward to this Tuesday to see what Adam sings…and going to American idol tour in K.C. Mo in August. to see him, allison and Kris…..Go Adam…….

Marianne

I am 43, my husband is 41, my daughters are 13 and 8 and we ALL adore Adam! I have never seen a contestant this versatile and, yes, perfect in 8 seasons. My 75 year old, who is a homophobic/rock hating/men do not wear make-up conservative older lady, is anxiously awaiting every tuesday night just for Adam. She absolutely adores him.
And she doesn’t speak a word of english but would not miss Adam for anything. Darn, it’s too bad I live in Quebec and that Canada can’t vote!
He’s gay? OMG!!! Call the cops!!!! Good grief. Get over it people.

Marianne

It’s Marianne again. I did mean my 75 year old mom. Sorry about that. LOLLLL

Cris

Adam’s genre is only rock and many viewers doesn’t appreciate rock. His yelling is so annoying and his looks, i.e., his eyes while performing are so scary. Thus, many viewers don’t find his performance wholesome and entertaining at all. Thus, it’s between Danny and Kris, but most likely it will be Danny. In last week voting, I believe it was Danny who was the #1 and Adam was the poor second, while the a close 3rd. Thus, my prediction Danny will win the AI for this year. Sorry, Adam’s fans.

Norwegiano

I think it would be SOOOOOO much more controversial
if Adam announced he was “straight”.

Think about it…everyone expects Adam to be gay (which he probably is, which I say, —you go, girl!)

But how outrageous would it be if he suddenly announced his engagement to that fiery amazon chick he had in the audience during the Born To Be Wild Performance?

Now THAT would sell covers…

JMR072

Adam has struck a cord with people who have become creatively numb from all the Britney/Miley/Jonas bubblegum music. Finally… someone with phenomenal talent, a la Freddy/Elvis. Since the vast majority of us will never get personal insight into Adam’s sexuality (more’s the pity) who cares what his sexual orientation is? It doesn’t affect my life, whereas his music definitely does! That said… I think he has the opportunity to move society forward in this regard. A new generation is awakening to the fact that gender really doesn’t matter. If you fall in love with someone, it’s their personality and soul that matters, not which anatomical parts they come equipped with. Jus’ my opinion. I don’t expect anyone to use their personal lives to push for social progress… but if they decide to (Ellen, for instance)… bravo. One day we will live in a society that recognizes all humans as equal, no matter what their race, gender, orientation or ethnic origin.

Gebeep

I am 60 years old and have never been this excited about a singer since Vince Gill. I don’t even like rock but the things Adam does with these rock sounds is fantastic!!! There are lots of people with good singing voices but he is more than that; he is a true artist!!! Every week I salivate waiting for him to sing. He has that Elvis look and I always loved Elvis. He and Alison were a great combination. I can hardly believe she was voted off and a mediocre singer like Kris was left on.

When he came down that staircase singing he made everyone else fade into no where land. He will continue to be a great entertainer for years to come.

As we know, Blogs are playing vital role for conveying messages to the Internet World. So bloggers be ready to celebrate and convey the message of greatness of Mothers Day.
Forthcoming Mothers Day is going to be celebrated in several countries across the globe though this month. Mother’s Day is celebrated in different month and dates in different countries. Most countries celebrate Mothers Day on second Sunday in the Month of May. A day set aside each year to recognize and honor mothers. So I wish you all to celebrate that day happy.

Happy Mothers Day

Annette

Wasn’t an Adam fan until he sang “Tracks of my Tears”. Now, I wait through all the other performances just to see Adam. Gay or straight doesn’t matter when you have the talent Adam has. I would love to see him sing with Kelly Clarkson – those strong voices together would be unbelieveable!

Lyn

I think Adam is great, he will be famous regardless and will likely win in the end (Allison was the only one even close to his competition). It’s TOTALLY not right to select one person from an ongoing contest to single out for an article. This issue should have been saved until the winning night announcement. Poor taste and sportsmanship EW!

Mari

HISTORY was made Tuesday on AI: . . . The BEST ROCK performance by Adam. . . . The FIRST LED ZEPPELIN performance on AI. . . . The FIRST DUET Performance on AI. . . . GOKEY”S HISTORY MAKING NOTE: . . . The WORST EVER FINALE delivery on AI. . . . ThE WORST EVER FINAL NOTE on AI. . . . The WORST EVER HIGH NOTE on AI. . . . The WORST EVER LONG NOTE on AI. . . . The SCARIEST EVER SHOW STOPPING NOTE on AI. . . . The MOST INFAMOUS NOTE on performance on AI. . . . The FUNNIEST ENDING performance on AI. . . . The MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT in AI history. . . . And the WORST, the offender is CLUELESS! He was even applauding himself after his performance & saying thank you repeatedly! SMUG? Or SHALLOW? For all these HISTORY that GOKEY made, he doesn’t deserve to be AI! That will always be identified with him. It will NEVER go away! He should have gone home, not Allison.

sandyeggo

This country is so far behind the free world when it comes to acceptance.

In Europe this would have been a side note written in tiny letters. If someone happened to read it they would just shrug their shoulders asking…what does that have to do with anything.

So Adam

According to Google, Adam has 6.1 million hits las month! . . . The rest all combined, only has half million. . . . A writer said it all:_”If you are not an Adam fan, you need counselling.” . . . Whether it’s your cup of tea or not, TALENT is TALENT, a gift from GOD that should be acknowledged & recognized. . . . ADAM is a very gifted performer overflowing with astounding talents. He’s been so blessed not only with extraordinary talents but with drop dead gorgeous looks, magnetism and sex appeal that transcends race, gender and generations. What’s more, he is humble and gracious. He shows good breeding and integrity. . . . To those who see otherwise, go back to the quote. You simply are NOT blessed with good judgment. I happen to like all contenders and they are all so good. But Adam is from another stratosphere._It can’t be denied. It can’t be ignored.

HIS sexuality is his business. not ours! funny how some jump to throw stones…is this what being a “good” person is all about?? he may just have a better, more pure heart than yours…think about it….sex/ religion etc. debate belong elswhere not here. this is a singing contest. big show…..adam is the one who deserves to win!!!

Katherine

I totally agree with “me” poster #16. Why is Adam the only one on the cover? It’s supposed to be all three of them. They could have broken this particular story AFTER he had already won!!

Well, whatever, I don’t begrudge Adam the cover cuz he looks amazing on it. I just hope it doesn’t make Adam look bad to the non-Adam fans who feel like their guys (Kris and Danny) are getting shafted again. It could work against him and might cost him some votes.

That would be a shame and it would definitely be on EW’s shoulders.

GO ADAM!!! KICK BUTT AND WIN!!!

Mari

Exactly what separate ADAM from all the rest who also have good vocals is that he EXCITES and THRILLS and ELECTRIFIES!!!!! He is a high voltage entertainer. You just know he will entertain you to the fullest! He is just INCREDIBLE! And all the superlatives in the dictionary and hyperbole in grammar are not enough. All have been used up to describe ADAM. And so you just use an analogy like Paula did – that it’s just like the Olympics. He is the Michael Phelps. Simply STUNNING!!! A sensational PHENOMENON!!!

Viv

I am a 65 year old grandmother and find Adam Lambert’s prformances mesmerizing. I only tolerate the other Idol performances until Adam’s begins. He is head and shoulders above Danny and Kris. The finale should be between Adam and Allison!

Jan

I find Adam a remarkably talented young man with a great future, win or lose on AI. It’s unfortunate that their timing of the article may impact the final results of the competition. It was a shame to see Alison go home, and it is also sad to know that two of them will also not make the top. I’m a 53 year old mom and was sitting there crying watching her the other night, imagining what my own daughter would be feeling if in her shoes at that moment. These kids have put their heart and soul into this and EW should be ashamed of the article and slant on Adam.

This is the best AI season and the four of them deserve top billing. The are all winners with a great future ahead of them.

Gay or not, at the end of the day it is about the voice! Move on EW, find some other angle, you have the wrong idea about what really interests your readers.

sandy c

Adam you are just Amazing! There has never been or will ever be a performer on AI like you!!!!!!!! You are sincere and kind. Who cares if you are gay or not. It is all about YOU as a singer. I will vote like there is no tomorrow for you. Each week I can’t wait for you to come out on that stage! Wow, you are HOT and you Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am ready to see you on the AI tour in PITTSBURGH!!!!!!

Roy

I wonder if most people really realize what we have been watching this year on AI? Adam Lambert has the potential to be one of the biggest stars in music if he is handled right. A singer with his amazing control, is very, very rare. I don’t think we will EVER see a contestant even close to him after this year. And thank goodness he will finally get the career he deserves.

elw

I agree with what everyone is saying, Adam is a superstar in the making. He is the only reason I watch AI. Remind everyone to VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!!!!!! I will be so depressed if he doesn’t win, he deserves it more than anyone.

Foxstar

To Chris (#77)

Let me see if I am hearing you correctly? In one breath you are saying you describe Adams style of singing “as being nothing more than yelling”. Yet at the same time you thought Danny’s performance, along with that horrible yelling of his throughout the entire Arrowsmith song he sang (and especially that painful final note) … As being the best of the night. At the same time you are expecting everyone else to ignore the many soulful ballads Adam has performed this season, when you say “all he does is yell”. I think you are either a bit deaf or you haven’t the slightest clue in regard to music. Either that or you think we are as gullible as you seem to be.

Adam is the Total Entertainer. He doesn’t even have to win to really make it big in the entaertainment field. Past years I would only watch the AI when it has pared down to the final three. Not this year. I am glued to the tv set few minutes before Idol time. Then I have started voting. This guy Adam is unique. He has a different aura. He is the most talented so far and he has made the program amazingly interesting. Where was he all the time Idol was going on? The world will nor forgive him if he doesn’t show his amazing talent. Can’t wait for his CD’s to arrive in stores.

NYCforAdam

Adam is a fearless GENIUS! I am 34, married, a mom and so infatuated with this man! If he does not win Idol, there is something really wrong with America (well certain parts of it anyway).

Michy

This is America in 2009!! Haters of gays need to wake up. Children are killing themselves because they are different. They are being bullied at schools, called “gay” and are cast out because they are different. We need to embrace our difference. You don’t have to agree with everything but at least be tolerant. Adam Lambert has given us so much enjoyment this Idol season. He’s different in so many wonderful ways and he’s made it interesting. Embrace him and his differences, it’s really OK and don’t worry, your sons and daughters won’t be gay because of it. No one chooses to be gay, they just are. Just like someone likes to dress in black and another likes blue.

Mimi NYC

There was no question in my mind weeks ago that the media would jump on the “gay” bandwagon once Adam was in the top 3. Adam is a phenonmenon unlike AI has ever seen. He needs to make it to the finals or the season will be a bust. He may not win, because let’s face it, America likes WHITE BREAD. I don’t, but many do. There are so many fearful people out there. Fearful of people that are different than themselves. We have a black president now, let’s go for a gay Idol!!!!
Vote for Adam!!!!

Jazzy

I don’t like Adam. I do not like his look nor his style of music. I am not a rocker. However, I do like Chris Daughtry’s style. My prediction: Adam will lose!

AI will never be the same post Adam Lambert. He really changed the concept of the program. One, that the judges should really really select the cream of the crop, the best. He is an amazing genius and totally over the top. He is a master of his talent and a pleasure to watch. Can’t wait for his CD’s.

Linda

Can’t stand him, He should not be on a cover before idol is over this is not fair…Go Danny!!!

SRG

From this point on Adam is going to on the cover of lots of magazines.

Kris and Danny….not so much.

chica63

Adam is an amazing individual, awesome talent and clearly not of this world. (Lucky him) My nieces who are 3 and 6 play around in the living room during AI but stop dead in their tracks, glued to the TV every time Adam comes on the screen. The little calls him a “magical singer”. Even little ones know how special this guy is.

EW’s article, cover and attitude is offensive. When I heard he was going to be in the mag I couldn’t wait to read it…now I wouldnt buy it line the litter box.

Someone upthread said that his orientation IS important as it is part of what makes Adam who he is. It IS important to HIS growth, HIS life, HIS happiness and how it shapes him as an artist. I find that I do care about Adam and hope that his life is full of love and happiness in whatever form is true to who he is. I do not however, care to discuss his sex life unless he calls me up himself and wants to talk. It’s just none of my business and I don’t know anyone who would want their sex lives and deepest most intimate part of themselves thrown on a starry, pink magazine cover just to make a buck for a gossip rag.

Cali Guy

I really think that things could get ugly now that its Adam versus the Choirboys. It might become a “morality competion” with conservative Christians againt gay rights leaders and all the drama that entails. I hope not but I smell a big stink on the horizon similar to the Miss California/gay marriage controversy.

CLK8122

You know, unless you plan to date Adam, WHY would anyone care whether he’s gay or not? I truly do not understand that obsession by the media–have we not moved beyond that nonsense? I am a 56 year old granny who absolutely LOVES this season on AI. Adam is the most amazing talent I have seen since Elvis — and I think he could be BETTER than the King! I wish Adam well in his life and hope to see a LOT MORE of his amazing talent! GO ADAM!

MommaT

Please people, vote for who you would like to listen to on your ipod, not who would best fit in at your next family reunion. I don’t think you are wrong for voting for any of the remaining three contestants as long as you voting for the only correct reason, you love to hear their voice. Besides, if any of these guys don’t fit in with your family, maybe it’s time to get a new one.

Stella

I am a 50 yo Grandmother of four who absolutely ADORES Adam. I count the minutes and hours until Tuesday when I can get a glimpse of history in the making. Twenty years from now you youngsters will tell your children how you watched Adam become a legend. He is heading for mega-stardom, and I for one am excited!!!!

His sexual orientation means nothing to me. WHat I do care about is God- given talent and humbleness. Always thankful for the Judges comments on AI- good or bad.

This is the 21st century. Grow up people. Aren’t we all about change? We elected an African American to the Oval Office, can’t we just live and let live. This is a singing competition, not as the world turns.

As for Danny Gokey; his performance on Tuesday speaks volumes about his ability and lack of talent.

Forever an Adam fan!!!

Joyce

Holy Cow, I am 65 young and turn on AI just to hear Adams voice, unbelievable. He can reach notes and ranges that most singers could only dream. I wish for him a long career and to make beautiful music

A major fan

Darin

Wow, looks like everyone’s grandmother loves Adam! LOL

Seriously, Kris Allen is more my cup of tea, but as a gay man, I would certainly welcome Adam as the new Idol. He certainly has the whole package and really seems destined to win it all.

I just hope he gets even more colourful in the next two weeks… perhaps a song dressed in drag for the finale??? 😉

Foxstar

In many ways America is STILL living in the stone age or the Puritan era, when it comes to being tolerant of people who are different then themselves. In other countries that are not considered as advanced as ours … I have seen gay people are hardly given a second notice, if they walk down the streets holding hands over there. In this country, if a person runs for president who is not White, it has people up in arms. If people are attracted to the same sex, people are up in arms over that as well. I think there is a LOT this country could learn form other countries, when it comes to being more tolerant of others who are different then themsleves.

Justin DQ

I’m soooo sick of people keep talking about Adam Lambert’s “gay issue.” American Idol is just a pure singing contest, not a selection for President or Priest or Pope! If the guy can sing, let him win. Well, first of all, Americans need to vote based on talents, not on their personal life. Obviously, Adam is so much talent than the other two guys, so if Adam did not win this year, this show should be renamed “American Straight Idol.” I feel bad for gay people because it seems like everywhere they go, they cannot do anything without being judged based on their sexuality. It’s called hate. Let’s hope that if Adam wins, at least we know there is LOVE out there. But if he didn’t win, I’m afraid that we have to deal with more and more “gay issues” everyday in our lives. Stop the hate, people, and give your LOVE to the world. Peace!…

Trisha

I am 22 and loving Adam Lambert! He rocks my mad world too!

di

he reminds me of michael jackson, a bit creepy.

Mari

In entertainment, sexual orientation doesn’t matter and so with being theatrics. That would bring the house down in Adam’s concerts. And that’s only one side of him. We’ve all seen how he can connect emotionally if he wants to with If I Can’t Have You.
This is just a point to pick for those who are not for Adam because there’s NOTHING that can be said that’s negative about him talentwise, physical attributes, personality and character.
Just like those who say he shrieks. OMG! Yess! But with Adam it’s an amazing incredible talent. It’s called PASSAGGIO! If you’ve got it, flaunt it.
ENVY makes one BLIND. Envy makes one in denial of a GOD given gift that should be acknowledged and appreciated unless one is not blessed with good judgement._And ADAM is simply overflowing with talents, magnetism, oozing sex appeal and drop dead gorgeous looks. Inspite all, he is humble, gracious and modest.
That simply spells S-U-C-C-E-S-S !!!_And S-U-P-E-R-S-TA-R !!!
And be a L-E-G-E-N-D !!! Time will prove it all.

di

reads like an overly wrought up liberal describing obama. legends do not come out of hokey tv shows.
this passing phase of ‘singing’ and ‘dancing’ competitions provide money for the producers and escapism for viewers.

Charles

What do you mean “no one cares if he’s gay or not”? Obviously everyone does, otherwise it wouldn’t be such a hot topic. Is it important? Not really, but why should he have to shut up about it because supposedly “nobody cares”? Do I care that Gokey is straight? No. Do I know it? God, yes because it has been repeated about 600 times. Same for all the other heterosexual contestants. So why suddenly when it comes to a gay candidate “nobody cares”, and “nobody needs to know”?

Lambert is going to win the competition hands down, and I hope he comes out clearly after. The longer he shuts up about it and the longer people will wonder about it etc. Once he says it, people will move on and pay attention to something else.

Gina

Adam’s sexuality has nothing to do with his talent, beauty, grace and winning American Idol. He has exploded into stardom, but, at least he’s paid his dues, and has years of polish. The others, while good singers, reminded me more of karaoke singers, or amateurs. However, I think the best of the season is represented by Adam, Kris and Danny. Allison was also an amazing singer. It’s Adam’s crown to lose because not one singer in American Idol history can measure up to his vocals.

Samantha

Being gay still affects some people. If you scan this blog page, there are unmerited attacks on him, thinly disguised as criticizing his singing, but, these are comments from cold bigots. His being Jewish is another bone of contention for the extreme right wing types who are not about to forgive him for being gay.

However, he is the most talented singer I have ever heard, and I love him so much that I’ve already downloaded all his songs on I-Tune. He is the most fantastic singer to ever emerge from the usually drab cast of American Idol.

Longshowerz

I liked the EW article, even though it did dwell wayyy to much on his sexuality but the writer never mentioned there are also pictures and videos of Adam with Women but for some reason people just seem obsessed with the thought of Adam being Gay, not sure why. Could it just be he is Bi or just a Metrosexual out there having fun, doing some self exploring and Adam has not said either way, So i’ll just keep an open mind and wish others would do the same…

Adam is simply the Elvis reincarnated. He is absolutely amazing! If you vote truely and truthfully one must choose Adam as he is the only one that is “artistry” epitomized. Sorry, but others just fill in the dots. This young man is talented, congenial, caring and genuine.

He has worked many years to be where he is. Therefore, he is deserving since he is the whole package. The other contestants haven’t put even near the hours and time this young man has.

There is simply no other choice, just Mr. Lambert who is uniquely blessed with an amazing formidable voice! It is a pleasure to watch him perform. I am 64 and I will be purchasing all of his music. I just hope he records “The Prayer” again. That video was the best I have ever heard!!!

Pen

In all the seasons of A.I. I have never seen a singer do well, consistently every week. Adam has never had a bad song or bad remarks from the judges because he is “that” good.

I wonder if anyone else notices that he doesn’t stand out in the group performances? This is the sign of a person that knows he is good BUT he let the others stand out. Adam reaks of quiet confidence and maturity. Even when he sang with Allison, you could tell he was holding back allowing her to shine.

As for the Elvis comparison… the similarities are uncanny. In the “day” Elvis was ostracized for shaking his hips in such a “sexual manner”… much like Adam is talked about for wearing makeup and being comfortable in his own skin.

Loving Adam Lambert

To all Adam fans: The magazine is out on the stands alreadt. I just bought 6 copies from my local Barnes & Noble store, I have to send them to friends and family in Europe now. And one copy is going to Cape Town, South Africa. Viva Adam Lambert, the WORLD’s Idol 2009!

glambert27

I’m sick of the press using the gay issue to sell their publications and drum up hits on their sites. Leave him alone already. It seems to me that the media is doing everything in their power to put Adam down to turn America away from voting for this amazingly talented beautiful man. It’s absolutely disgusting.

I want to send a reminder out to all Adam fans to please remember to VOTE FOR ADAM TUESDAY NIGHT AND NO SPLIT VOTING.

Adam really wants to win so lets make this happen for him.

Here’s a quote from from Adam from The Jeff and Jer Show Radio Interview 5-8-09

“If I were to win, it would definitely be a validation of everything I have worked for, my whole life, I have been trying to entertain people. Getting to be on this platform and being able to entertain this many people all at once… this is the ultimate prize. This is what I’ve wanted for my whole life so it will be a crowning achievement and it will be pretty overwhelming.”

Lets make this happen for him guys.

Glambert 1576

Oh, yes. Adam is a STAR but remains humble and gracious. Have you seen his hometown videos? What a sweetheart! Here I am, the mother of two TEENS acting like a teenager! They think I have gone NUTS and I have and I LOVE IT!

I do think the other Idols are very talented, just not in the same ballpark.

rjrjruss

My wife, myself, amd my 9 y.o. daughter voted over 650 times for Adam last week. I usually only will vote in 5 times. After adam landed in the bottom two 2 weeks ago I decided to be more proactive in helping Adam win American Idol. Adam Is a superb talented singer and performer. I have never seen anything like him in all the years on American Idol. All you Adam fans need to call in more than 5 or 10 times. Calls are toll free. Use your redial on your phone. Heck when my wife was putting the other kids to bed, she handed me her phone ,too. I had a phone in each hand dialing, re- dialing, etc, etc. and voting for Adam.

Kelly

I am so infatuated with Adam Lambert and blown away by his talent that I am counting the hours until he sings again. I have never been this taken with a performer before, and for those naysayers who dismiss him as being too broadway, he is too complex to be cubby-holed. He is AMAZING!

His voice is not only powerful, but, beautiful. He has magnificent range, and each song is infused with his heart and soul. He has brought out the most in each theme, transcending the genres like it was nothing. None of the other contestants have come near him. He is simply a genius!

To top it off, as Simon said, he is absolutely fearless, with a swagger, and gorgeous to look at. He could easily be a movie star as well as superstar singer.

I think it would be a travesty if this phenomenon didn’t win, but, I know that he is the Elvis and Beatles of the 21st Century. He’s got a monster career ahead of him, and it couldn’t happen to a sweeter guy.

As the most talented singer, by a landslide, he was the only one humble enough to listen to the judges, not pout and tell them he wouldn’t “beg” for votes, like he’s too big for that, and his good natured humility is refreshing after some of the prima donnas this season.

TO ALL ADAM’S FANS:
It’s my opinion that most highly educated viewers of AI go for Adam. Judging from posters on this and other sites, majority are for Adam.
Therefore, you can definitely say that Adam’s fans outnumber those of Danny and Kris.
But the advantage of both Kris and Danny is they have the solid backing of their church. They vote united and well organized. It’s like a political machine. It’s why these two end up in the final 3.
I don’t dislike any of these two. They’re both good.
But a talented Allison has been in the bottom 3 a number of times because she has no fan base as solid and united as these two.
Adam manages to stay in the final by his sheer explosion of talents and magnetism comparable to none why he deserves to win.
ADAM will WIN ONLY IF those highly educated fans of his VOTE repeatedly for full 2 hours against the threat of block voting of Danny’s and Kris’ fans.
I say this because they are the complacent ones and just enjoy the fun of being entertained by Adam.
Some who do vote, do only 5x or 10x. That’s not going to help ADAM win.
I plead to these Adam fans: PLEASE VOTE.
If you can buy that GO phone and use it NON-STOP the next 2 Tuesdays.
Dialidol.com has a device that records 1000 votes an hour.
Please do it so justice will be done.
Then America will not get it WRONG.

Yeah … I am so jumpy today to see who will win tonight. Adam deserves it of course and will be a star no matter what. He seems like a fantastic guy and I can’t stop watching his performances. I’ve never even been in iTunes before, but now I know how to download, etc. For selfish reasons I want him to win because I have tix to the Vancouver BC concert and I want him to have TONS of stage time. Thanks to all of you who voted for us watching around the world. Now I gotta go out today and see if I can scare up an issue of Entertainment Weekly.

Just read all these amazing messages…Adam didn’t win the contest last night,
but he is the big winner of this year, or any year. He is a transformational
figure, yes an icon, and yes a real, present, loving human being as well.
The unfolding of his artistry, his talent, his gifts to the world, are just beginning
and I look forward to each chapter as it unfolds, just as I did with each of his
performances on American Idol. I am 66, a grandmother of 3, my daughter
refers to Adam as that “Goth Guy”…if she voted it would have been for
Kris…and guess what, Kris is a winner too, and so is my daughter. Its love that
brought us here, love and passion and full self expression that Adam gives
to us, and what a journey. I’m so glad to be a part of it, so grateful for the emerging
creative artist…multifaceted artist…that Adam is. What amazing grace,
what a blessing. Woodacre, California

I’m a devout Christian and mother of two music-loving boys, and I must ask: What is wrong with America? America’s vote for Kris Allen, or America’s vote against Adam Lambert, seems to be a hate vote against the various sectors of society that Adam appears to stand for. People lost respect of the fact that American Idol is a singing talent competition open to all — straight or gay, Christian or Jewish, clean-cut or flamboyant glam, etc. Voters forgot that it is not a popularity contest for class of persons — neither an arena to battle for coalition leadership nor grounds to crusade for a religious revival. In Season 8, Kris demonstrated that he is a skilled musician and an outstanding vocalist; but Adam consistently proved to be the amazingly innovative vocal artist and the versatile singer, gifted with a powerful voice. Adam deserved to win. Even visibly perplexed Kris acknowledged this glaring truth in his Christian heart so that he openly asserted in public that “Adam deserves this. I’m sorry…” when he was unexpectedly handed the undeserved title. So many seconds passed before bewildered Kris finally acquiesced to receive the undeserved crown, but only after Adam graciously approached to place a brotherly arm around his room mate’s shoulder in a gesture of encouragement. Hello, brothers and sisters — American Idol is a singing contest and Adam Lambert is the real winner! I should also ask: What is wrong with Fox TV’s American Idol show that they instigate such warped controversies and divisiveness to occur at a time like this?

Well I must be the oldest grandma commenting here. I am 77 and
my 50 year daughter and her 13 year old daughter all agree…
that we love and adore Adam and can’t get enough of him.
Look on Utube for Adam singing Brigadoon….it takes my
breath away.
Adam was 22 at the time…WOW
We have all ordered his album and look forward to many more
recordings of Adam’s formidable talent.
He is a one in a million megastar.
I had only watched AI at my grandaughters urging, having never
watched before. I am very happy that I did.
You go Adam! We love you! I love you!

There is a gentleman in Curacao who lives aside the ocean. His eyes are clear as the sea waters and, like the ocean, he is strong-willed. his name is Bert Knubben.(64) He is on the beach of the BREEZES Resort Hotel and a crafter of the exclusive “kings” black coral jewelry which he obstinately insist must be written black “koral”. A solid touch, since the initials are his own and on Curacao, he is similar with this valuable gem which he fastidiously makes in his small store, the KORALART gallery, together with his good-looking wife Fennie, on the palm beach of the Breezes Resort.
